		<description><![CDATA[Of course, any second novel an author writes will have different content than the first. If it didn&#8217;t, that would be a problem, wouldn&#8217;t it? This is more about the experience of writing a second novel than the actual text. Certainly, it&#8217;s possible to have a better feel for yourself as a writer when you&#8217;re]]></description>
